We're seeking a skilled and hands-on Data Engineer to join a high-performing data team at a growing national organisation that's embracing data as a strategic differentiator. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys solving complex data problems, working with modern Azure technologies, and contributing to a truly data-driven culture.

You'll play a central role in designing, building and maintaining data products and pipelines across a cloud-first environment. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Building and maintaining scalable ETL/ELT pipelines in Azure Data Factory and Azure Functions
  • Managing data ingestion from varied sources (APIs, SFTP, on-prem SQL) into Azure Data Lake / Synapse
  • Designing interactive Power BI dashboards with row-level security and performance-optimised models
  • Supporting data infrastructure performance, backup, and recovery processes
  • Collaborating closely with business and technical teams to develop and maintain enterprise-grade data products
  • Contributing to data governance, quality, and architecture initiatives

💼 What You Bring

  • 5+ years in data-focused roles (e.g., Data Engineer, Database Admin, Data Integration)
  • Proficiency in SQL, Python (or Scala), and experience with Azure cloud services
  • Experience developing Power BI reports (DAX, model optimisation, custom visuals)
  • Hands-on experience with API data extraction and tools like Postman
  • Strong understanding of data modelling, pipelines, and architecture design
  • A collaborative mindset and excellent communication skills

🌟 Nice to Have

  • Microsoft certifications (Azure, Data Engineering, etc.)
  • Familiarity with Cosmos DB, Dynamics, or other Microsoft ecosystem tools
  • Experience working in member-based, federated or decentralised organisations

🚀 Why Join?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative team in an organisation where data is at the heart of strategic decision-making. You'll be part of a cloud-native, future-focused environment with the freedom to innovate and the support to grow.
